Press the release button to remove the dust container. Hold it over a trash bin, then press the bottom release to empty. Wash the container with water if needed and dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

Can I use the vacuum cleaner without the HEPA filter?

No, the vacuum must always be operated with the HEPA filter inserted. Using it without can damage the motor and void the warranty.

How often should I clean the pre-filter?

Clean the pre-filter after every 5 full dust containers. Tap it gently or rinse with water and let it dry completely for 24 hours before reuse.

What should I do if the vacuum loses suction?

First, check if the dust container is full. Empty it if needed. Next, inspect the filters for clogs and clean or replace them. Also check the hose and attachments for blockages.

Is the power cord retractable?

Yes, the VT-1836 features an automatic cord rewinder. Simply press the pedal on the back of the unit to retract the cord smoothly.

Can I vacuum liquids with this model?

No, this vacuum cleaner is designed for dry use only. Never vacuum liquids or wet debris, as it can cause electrical shock or damage.

Turn off and unplug the vacuum. Open the filter cover, remove the old HEPA filter, and insert a new one. Ensure it snaps into place securely. Close the cover.

What do the indicator lights mean?

A red light on the handle indicates a full dust container or clogged filter. Clean the container and filters. A green light means normal operation.

Why does the vacuum turn off while using?

This is likely due to overheating. The vacuum has an automatic thermal cut-out. Let it cool for 30 minutes, check for blockages, and then restart.

VACUUM CLEANER

Dear customer!

We thank you for purchasing VITEK household appliance.

Technology, design, functionality and full compliance with quality standards guarantee you reliability and comfort while using our vacuum cleaner without a dust bag.

Our vacuum cleaner is equipped with HEPA filter (the filter is capable of detaining the dust particles of 0,3 mcm and more), installed in the dust-box container. HEPA filters successfully detain such particles as spores, ash, pollen, bacteria and microscopical dust particles.

It helps avoiding irritation of the respiratory organs of children, as well as of those people that suffer from allergy, asthma or especially sensitive to allergens.
